I love the guitar melody. Simple but effective

I like that chorus.  Good melody and nice work on the vocal layering.

From the album "Cairn" (2024)

The World Won't Let Me Believe

The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world

I want to believe that people they've got you
They'll do the right thing when nobody's watching
I want to believe we write our own story
That some day some way we're heading for glory

But the world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world

I want to believe there's nothing to fear
That the monsters are all in the rear-view mirror
I want to believe some day we'll be proud of
Our narrow escape from this trap we got out of

But the world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world

I want to believe that our time is not wasted
That life is delicious if only we taste it
I want to believe in a world without pain
Where justice comes down like the falling rain

But the world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world

The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world
No I don't believe the world
No I don't believe the world

When The Music Stops

If I Ever Complain

Four in the morning big ball rolling
Gotta stay up all night

Wish it was Friday not another Sunday
I'll never get up on time,  oh my! 

Siri set the alarm for me
Remember what we talked about
Siri don't give up on me
Even if you have to shout
You're my best friend

Don't believe everything you hear
Id never write a song without you
Siri let me wipe your tear
Never meant to hurt you

Siri You're my best friend
With me till the end
It's not the end
Oh yeah!

Siri (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by  Prod Peril)

This is the built on a poem by my Grandad Bill Stapleton. He wrote it on the 23rd of October 1969  by request of his Aunt Cora!

Friend of Friendship

A friend is a very special thing
Warm and close and comforting
A golden treasure, rich and rare
Worthy of all our tender care.

A friend must be a friend of a friend
Never possessed or yours to lend
No money can buy or jewels trade
This is how a friendship is made

Will friendship last or will it sever?
The poor are sure the rich are never
With mutual trust and honour paid
This is how a friendship is made

🧓🏼Friend to Friendship

I am Not a traditional guitar player. I've never learned another player's work, preferring any repetition or homage to be completely subconscious at most. The same can be said with my keyboard work.

Due to the complexity of many arrangements, I use a LOT of Stereo Imaging. Therefore, I recommend listening in stereo, as things may sound a bit muddy.
